Your friends have designated you as the one to keep them from falling into a restaurant rut.

Tell them all you just made reservations at Jack Rose in The Pontchartrain Hotel. Replacing the Caribbean Room, the much-anticipated spot opened for dinner over the weekend - expect lunch and brunch service to start this weekend. The restaurant serves up champagne aplenty and a menu of NOLA-inspired Italian, French and Spanish dishes. In between bites of the fantastic cuisine - everything from escargot and crawfish bread to pompano en papillote - you'll be gawking over elements like the mixed-wallpapered dining room, art from Ashley Longshore and the adjacent new Rose Garden. Dress to impress, but feel free to let the guys leave their jackets at home. And don't even think about leaving before sharing the grapefruit cake with rosé buttercream, pictured.
